The essay starts from the idea that symbols do not belong to a solemn realm but to daily communication: every word is a symbol. Luc Benoist studies the logic of symbolism and traces the evolution of signs from their origin to their metamorphosis into rites and myths, showing their function in making complex ideas accessible.

For readers of philosophy, art and history interested in the origin and function of symbols in everyday communication.
